City officials seek state help on university tax share
City commissioners approved a $140000 request for the University of Kansas share of a sewer assessment for land west of Iowa Street. Wells urged action on local service costs tied to the university and noted state-owned property could lower the city tax rate if taxable. He cited a 30 percent assessment rule and a 34.479 mill rate, suggesting a potential drop to about 20.688 mills, though real possibility remains slim. The survey of 185 cities showed many educational institutions paying some local costs, from police and fire to other services.
